The Duchess: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Governess

Product Information

This dealt with her early life and her first two marriages leading up to when she met Prince Edward and how they fell in love. Author Wendy Holden introduces the reader to a new viewpoint on the relationship between Wallis Simpson and the Prince of Wales. Compared to the indifference he clearly expressed during their five years of marriage, she wanted to laugh out loud, as she understood the reason for his disgusting emotions. She worked in magazines for many years before joining Tatler's in 1997 as deputy editor, and later moved to the Mail on Sunday’s You magazine, which she left in 2000 to concentrate on writing. Steel went to great lengths to describe how this was necessary since the property and all the riches were entailed and therefore Angelique could not inherit anything and the oldest brother would become Duke and inherit everything.

And though Sarah’s beauty stirs the desires of jaded aristocrats, she wants a grander future for herself than that of a pampered mistress. Forever seeking love, protection and safety, whether through a reliable, loving husband or through the cushion of wealth, this Wallis is naïve, impressionable, insecure and yet still sensitive to the suffering of others, constantly seeking refuge in furthering her prospects in a brittle and alien society about which she knows very little. Our features are original articles from our print magazines (these will say where they were originally published) or original articles commissioned for this site.In the end, Ariana ended her life by jumping from the top floor of the castle she lived in and dying regretfully. From England to Paris and New York, Danielle Steel paints a captivating portrait of a woman of unquenchable spirit who, in houses great or humble, is every ounce a duchess. The follow-up workbook to From the Inside-Out: discover, create and publish the novel in you, Deep and Wide utilizes Susan May Warren’s easy to apply explanations, exercises and intuitive methods to teach you advanced fiction writing techniques that will turn any novel from boring to breathtaking. It is full of sumptuous descriptions of the lavish parties Wallis attends and unforgettable characters like the prince’s self-centered and fabulous former lover, Thelma Morgan. But, this is Angelique, perhaps one of the most capable, did I mention beautiful, young women of all time.

Wanneer je de korte inhoud leest zou je denken dat De Hertogin voornamelijk zal gaan over de affaire tussen Walis en prins Edward, maar de auteur zal vooral de relatie tussen Ernest en Wallis in de schijnwerpers zetten. No one will dare to consider your words a lie: if you say that you were painting souls, then it's the truth.By chance, on a ‘cultural’ visit into the city, she catches an unexpected glimpse of the Prince of Wales leaving St James’s Palace in a black limousine and is struck by the look of absolute ‘misery on the face of the idol of the Empire. Brimming with the intrigue and sensuality of one of history’s most decadent courts, Duchess brings to vivid life the story of an unforgettable woman who determines her own destiny—outspoken, outrageous, but most of all true to herself. The time to capture the aid of the apocalypse -- the ring bearer of pandemics, the piper of the Bacharoths, the murdered, the warmonger -- was within her reach. And as Wallis inveigles herself into high society – thanks chiefly to eccentric design and fashion guru Cecil Beaton who recognises her as ‘a kindred soul’ – she finally gets to meet David, as the Prince of Wales is known to his friends and family, and he is captivated by her high spirits, lack of sycophancy and her encouragement of his efforts to modernise the monarchy. She finds life dull without friends or family nearby and spends most of her time alone and daydreaming of being invited to fancy parties and glamorous nights out for drinks and dancing.
